Book Reviews of The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder

Book Review: If I Were Bush, I'd Worry. But He won't.
Summary: 5 Stars

The prosecution of George W. Bush for murder? Preposterous. But then again, why not?

The author, Vincent Bugliosi, is a Democrat but not one of your stereotypical new-agey, yogurt-eating liberals. The guy is pretty hard nosed when it comes to crime and seeing that justice is done. And he not only believes that President Bush and some of his advisors are guilty of murder and should be prosecuted for it, but he lays out a reasonably convincing argument that it can be done entirely within the limits of existing law.

Bugliosi, mostly famous for his handling of the Manson family case, is a clever lawyer. (In another book, he convinced me that O. J. Simpson was not only guilty of murder but could have been convicted if the case had been properly handled.) He's given thought to just about all the arguments that the defense could make, such as "self defense", and describes the proper jurisdiction and other legal issues in plain, if impassioned, language. You don't have to be familiar with the US penal code, Paragraph 10, Subsection A, Page 3, in order to understand Bugliosi's agenda.

Bugliosi dislikes George W. Bush and has cabal. If nothing else is clear, that point is. I'm just going to flip through the books and pick out a few descriptive phrases he applies to Bush: cowardly, gang of thugs, lazy, frivolous, irresponsible, lying, moral mongrels, criminal.

Not that Bugliosi doesn't give the administration any credit at all. "I'll say this about Bush and Cheney. Although they are both unusually small men in every sense of the word other than physical size, they have the gonads of 10,000 elephants."

Does Bugliosi lay out a cogent brief? Yep. Will the prosecution of George W. Bush for murder ever take place? Nope. There's no general motivation for such a prosecution. We've already worn ourselves out in a ridiculous impeachment of the previous president. However, as Bugliosi points out, there is no statute of limitations for murder. The possibility will always remain hanging in the air, though it will probably not interfere with Bush's golf game, and the charge can be brought by any Attorney General in any state that has suffered a casualty as a result of Bush's acts -- meaning any of 50 states.

My ultimate opinion: I think it would be very interesting to see Bush and the rest face Vincent Bugliosi in court.

Summary of The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder

Famed Charles Manson prosecutor and three time #1 New York Times bestselling author Vincent Bugliosi has written the most powerful, explosive, and thought-provoking book of his storied career.

In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, Bugliosi presents a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. Bugliosi sets forth the legal architecture and incontrovertible evidence that President Bush took this nation to war in Iraq under false pretenses-a war that has not only caused the deaths of American soldiers but also over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children; cost the United States over one trillion dollars thus far with no end in sight; and alienated many American allies in the Western world.

As a prosecutor who is dedicated to seeking justice, Bugliosi, in his inimitable style, delivers a non-partisan argument, free from party lines and instead based upon hard facts and pure objectivity.

A searing indictment of the President and his administration, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder also outlines a legally credible pathway to holding our highest government officials accountable for their actions, thereby creating a framework for future occupants of the oval office.

Vincent Bugliosi calls for the United States of America to return to the great nation it once was and can be again. He believes the first step to achieving this goal is to bring those responsible for the war in Iraq to justice.
